Where can I go to get my sp 404sx repaired and sp 555 repaired and how much do repairs go for? Thanks so much!

Re: Replacing Glitchy Knobs
Are you referring to the post where I mentioned messaging me if someone needed the pot? I wasn't suggesting that I was selling them if that's the case. Mouser's cheapest shipping option is $7.99 Ground or $7.99 USPS Priority currently and they charge a ridiculous amount for international shipping in ...

Re: Dead pads
Nobody ever takes my advice... I would get the caikote
Kel - as you can see the people responding didn't take the time to read anyone's advice.
I have always used the graphite and recommended the graphite because if the pads are not fully cleaned (any remaining oil residue) the caikote will ...

If anyone decides to go forward with replacing capacitors in an attempt to resolve this humming symptom here is a helpful trick for quickly removing the type of capacitors you'd be working with. It will give you more working space and keep nasty plastic-melting heat away from the connectors in the ...

Re: sp404sx repair advice?
I'm guessing that the linked pots will probably work, but it's worth noting that they are not actually spare parts as the original pots were manufactured by ALPS and the pictured pots are not. They're also missing the "sleeve" which can impact long-term reliability since it provides additional ...

Re: Replacing Glitchy Knobs
I've done a ton of pot replacements on various models, mostly the SP-404, and it's always worth cleaning the pot out first using something like DeOxit D5 from CAIG Laboratories.
